Hi thanks for your reply,
No I haven't learned Blender yet, I have decided to wait for version 2.5 or it will be like learning the same program twice.
Instead I use Art or Illusion plus other 3D packages.I added the kick-boards and skirts in Sweet Home just using 8 boxes (from the misc furniture list) I then adjusted the boxes to the correct size, texture wrapped them and carefully positioned them within the 3D space.
Here is a different view so you can see how the 8 boxes look without the cabinets, 5 to make the skirts, then 3 for the kick-boards (1 box at 45 degrees in the corner to compliment your corner cabinet (added after the original black kick-board render)) I saw no point in making the kick-board just front panels since only the front and side edges would be seen. The skirts had to be separate parts so the lights could be concealed causing downward without spill lighting.
For this render I changed the time of year and chose a different time of day, so the sunlight would shine across the kick-boards hopefully helping define their shape and also left the original cooker hood light switch on to add form to the skirts.
Thank you for your compliment about the kick-boards and skirts. By the way, I am always careful to use free (without limitations) textures.
In connection with different worktops I think dark marble might look good with the wooden cabinets or how about the same cabinets in Beach?
